What’s Your Take on Palin?
August 30, 2008
I’d love to hear your opinion on McCain’s VP pick. Will she attract Hillary supporters? Do you want her to be Commander in Chief should McCain croak? On a purely strategic level, I think it is one of the only things McCain could have done to delay defeat. In my opinion, if he would have picked some also-ran (say Romney or Pawlenty) I think the air would have gone completely out of his campaigns’ sails and he would have been dead in the water. Keep in mind we haven’t had TV since May, so I could be way off with this estimation. But it appears that the novelty of Palin has at least reenergized his effort for the time being. Thoughts? What are you hearing in your circles of influence (friends, family, etc)?

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

would a female democrat change tickets to vote for a an old man and a female republican? Not sure about that one. I do think there will be a lot of women watching (Dems included) when she takes the stage at the convention. If they have one that is.

Brandon, I expected more of you. This is not just about politics and how she can “improve” the ticket. What I want to know is how she is going to be an adequate mother of five kids and a wife and oh by the way, also VP? How come no one is talking about that?
National/International experience? - 0
Time as governor of the populous state of Alaska - 2 years.
Mayor - 6 years.
This resume might get you into the convention, but VP? Not good.
Nice woman. Impressive woman. Like her a lot. Not ready for prime time.

Well, I found one voice in the wilderness on Sarah Palin who is thinking biblically. I can’t believe that even Al Mohler punted on this one. Sad…
